Hint: Easy skills:If you have a shop in the Ant Village and proceededfar in the game, restart with all the items you currently haveand fight constantly. If you fight enough, the shop will havenew skills that will be useful. It is essential to get Nina'sFire Blast and Ice Blast spells along with Ryu's Status Effectattacks. This also works well with weapons for your team.

Hint: Easy battle:Use the following trick for an easy battle when gangedby Rangers after the Ice levels. If you were wise and did notuse your Dragon Change during easy battles then you are in luck.Beat down the first wave and do not go into dragon form. In thesecond battle, you will face a machine. While it is strong, itis easy to take out as long as you use Nina's Fragball spell.In the last battle, you will face the commander. This is a difficultbattle. She hits hard and fast. Become the Dragon, kill her partners,then kill her. She will die and drop a very nice sword for Ryu.

Hint: Easy money:This trick requires the Fairy Bank and the Foreignmoney policy of Mils. Buy Mils when they are very low (for example,85-110Z). Then, fight a few battles and return. If the Mils arenot worth over 180Z, fight more battles until they are. You canstart off with 30,000Z and end up with 110,000Z.

After you recruit Lin and are back in Lowsector Borough, go intothe newly opened room. Explore all the rooms. When you find aroom with someone stuck in it, they will give you Fairy Drops.Sell those to a item shop, then find the person again. They willgive you more. Keep selling them to get lots of money. Note: Thiswill take a long time.

Hint: Easy experience:Once you gain access to the Ko-Kan Horay, you can battlethe monsters there as much as desired. Use a little party experienceto put everyone up to around level 10 so that you can easily passthrough the first few levels. Make sure you have a lot of goodskills. The following are recommended for each character:

Also, make sure to have about five pages in your backpack andstock them with around 20 Aid Kits, 10 Med Kits, 10 Tonics, andwhatever else desired. You should not have to use all of them,but it is good to be safe. Buy the armor from Faerie Village thatprevents all status effects and equip it to everyone. Make everyonehave a shield with an open slot and place Feint in each one. Ifyou make it down to around level 20 to 25, exit and repeat. Youshould gain around 8,500 party experience each run through. Itshould only cost about 1,500 to bring everyone up to level 10at the beginning. You can go further if you think you can makeit; however, try to save up your party experience. Once you haveabout 120,000 party experience or more, you should be able togo all the way through the dungeon.

Hint: Bosch: Combos:

Twin Wake: Snakebite + Lion Smash

Press R2 + Circle and repeatedly press X.You will do a more potent amount of damage when you hit your lastmove.

Hint: Bosch: No shield:In the beginning, at the last battle before you loseBosch, put explosion on his shield and he will lose it duringthe battle. Then, Bosch will have no shield.

Hint: Ryu: Best sword:Ryu's best sword is the Dragon Blade. It can be foundafter you have completed the game the first time through. If youhave a café, one of the ants sitting there will tell youthat there is a strange weapon in the Genetic Processor. Whenyou go through the Genetic Processor with Bosch, you will seeOdjn. Stay in that room and go the opposite direction of the exitdoor. You should see stairs going down. Go down the stairs andyou will be on the ground instead of the platform. Keep goinguntil you see a sword sticking out of the ground. It will be glowing.Pick it up and it will say "Sword ???". Get it appraisedand you will have the Dragon Sword. It has no special moves, butit is strong and has all slots empty.
